I am a British Sikh MP.
Like you, I was horrified by Henry Nowak’s death. I utterly condemn his murderer.
Like you, I have been moved by the grace of his family.
Like you, I was appalled by Farage and Robinson seeking to divide us in anger.
From here, there are two paths that our country can take.
The first path is embodied by Farage and Robinson. They seek to pit White Brits against non-White Brits. Through crypto-funded, tech-fuelled hate, they try to drive a wedge through our communities.
The second is embodied by Henry Nowak’s father, Mark. A path of national unity and grace. Our nation stood together as one people to defeat fascism, and today our different communities come together to mourn Henry Nowak.
The path we choose will define us as a nation. I choose the path that is true to our historic values summed up by this eternal truth:
Together we will meet this moment, divided we won’t.

@PaulSchleifer Lots of people don't know the difference from this.
Including a local villager who took to 'policing' schoolkids cycling along one of the first and trying to shift them into the road!
@Hewitt101R@agbdrilling All those Bristols seemed to manage just fine.
I'm with Ricardo on this. All big petrol engines should have been two stroke sleeve valves. Except the gas turbine, and the mixed cycle diesel, got there first.
If only someone in the media would expose Farage's incitement yesterday via performative utterance in the same way that Jonathan Miller humiliated Enoch Powell and his grubby little racism.
@Keir_Starmer But Parliament has already forgiven Farage for his incitement to riot. (And for taking a £5M bung)
What penalty will Parliament impose on Farage? Ban him from the House for a few weeks? He's never there anyway!
Hopefully, Ukraine can keep sending drones to St. Petersburg throughout the five days of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
The guests need to understand two things: Russia is losing, and you don't fuck with Ukraine.
